Success criteria
I can explain the diff erence between a want and a need.
The diff erence between a want and a need is that wants are something you would like to have, but they are not essential for survival. A need is necessary for survival and is protected as right. Being safe is an example of a right because it is needed for survival. Getting a new bike is a want because it is nice to have but not needed to survive.
